file Date Modified changes when copying

[bmallott]

I am copying files from one .Mac account to another. After copy is complete, the date stamp on the file reflect the copy date.

I need to retain the original Date Modified prior to the copy.

I've tried drag/drop + copy/paste with the same results.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Beck

Go into the terminal and try

cp -p filename.txt destination_folder/

If that doesn't work, it's probably impossible.
